Adolf Hitler based a lot of his racial theories on the works of Madison grant, an American eugenicist. Hitler wrote to him saying "the book is my Bible". Madison Grant described the Nordic race as "It is everywhere characterized by certain unique specializations, namely, wavy brown or blond hair and blue, gray or light brown eyes, fair skin, high, narrow and straight nose, which are associated with great stature, and a long skull, as well as with abundant head and body hair." He also theorized that they have more stamina, high metabolism, and mature later. Today most people only consider people of wholly Scandinavian descent to be the true Nordics, so it would probably be more appropriate to call the race Madison Grant described as Germanic.
The the Nazi's idealized the stereo-typical Nordic with blonde hair and blue eyes, but they didn't believe that they constituted an entire race. If you were a blonde/blue eyed Slavic, then you wouldn't be the center of attention. Anybody who was of wholly Germanic descent was considered Aryan by Hitler. When it came down to naming the Jew, Gypsy or the Asian they did not look at people and say "blonde hair, blue eyes, check", they took facial structure, cranial shape, and many other things into consideration. Perfection was not mandatory, however they did have high standards. Hitler did background checks on everybody, to make sure they had no Jewish, Gypsy, or Asian admixture.
